One of the major Hindu temples in Sri Lanka. People from all religions visit here without a division. Temple is very big that you have plenty to see inside. Men are required to remove their top clothing to enter the temple. No any restrictions for women. No photos inside. Dress accordingly as this is a religious place.

Located almost in the middle of no where, except by a beautiful little lake, is the kovil dedicated to Lord Shiva! Supposedly dating back to pre Vijaya, this ancient temple is now under renovation, even though, it's still absolutely worth a visit. All the original statues are located in a temporary housing, adjacent to the kovil and poojas are conducte thrice a day, 8am, 12 noon and at 6pm. The surrounding area is calm and peaceful, so soothingly spiritual! There was a strong breeze when we visited the temple at noon, which made it very comfortable in spite of the heat. Families of monkeys dwell in the many trees growing around the vicinity of the temple. This temple is one of the 5 Pancha Ishwaram temples in Sri Lanka, the others being; Koneswaram in Trincomalee, Naguleswaram in Jaffna, Munnesawaram in Chilaw and Tenavaram in Matara.
